Unsaturated ethers are oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) emitted by anthropogenic sources.

In this work, we report for the first time the rate coefficients of the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals (kOH) of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (2ClEVE), allyl ether (AE), and allyl ethyl ether (AEE) as a function of temperature in the 263–358 K range, measured by the pulsed laser ph... Unsaturated ethers are oxygenated volatile organic compounds (OVOCs) emitted by anthropogenic sources. Potential removal processes in the troposphere are initiated by hydroxyl (OH) radicals and photochemistry. In this work, we report for the first time the rate coefficients of the gas-phase reaction with OH radicals (kOH) of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether (2ClEVE), allyl ether (AE), and allyl ethyl ether (AEE) as a function of temperature in the 263–358 K range, measured by the pulsed laser photolysis–laser induced fluorescence technique. No pressure dependence of kOH was observed in the 50–500 Torr range in He as bath gas, while a slightly negative T-dependence was observed. The temperature dependent expressions for the rate coefficients determined in this work are: kOH,2ClEVE(T)=(9.0±2.0)×10?12exp(478±72T)cm3molecule?1s?1, kOH,AE(T)=(1.3±0.4)×10?11exp(442±91T)cm3molecule?1s?1, kOH,AEE(T)=(5.8±1.3)×10?12exp(563±62T)cm3molecule?1s?1, The estimated atmospheric lifetimes (?OH) assuming kOH at 288 K were 3, 2, and 4 h for 2ClEVE, AE and AEE, respectively. The kinetic results are discussed in terms of the chemical structure of the unsaturated ethers by comparison with similar compounds. We also report ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) absorption cross sections (?? and ?(?˜), respectively). We estimate the photolysis rate coefficients in the solar UV actinic region to be less than 10?7 s?1, implying that these compounds are not removed from the atmosphere by this process. In addition, from ?(?˜) and ?OH, the global warming potential of each unsaturated ether was calculated to be almost zero. A discussion on the atmospheric implications of the titled compounds is presented.
